Center multiple large images without horizontal scrollbar

I made a web layout in Photoshop, and sliced it in pieces in Photoshop, and exported it as html. This automaticly generated an html page.
I linked a css to it, with a background color and standard font. Now I’m trying to get my whole layout centered (multiple images). My entire layout is a fairly big size, 1680×1100px. I made it that big so a user with high resolution wouldn’t see ugly bars at the side of my layout. My content area is about 800-900px width, so any user with any resolution can see all of the content.

The problem I’m getting is that it centers all of the images when you have a resolution bigger than 1680×1100px, but if you have a lower resolution, it would just align the image to the left, and show horizontal scrollbars.

I know how to do it with 1 background image, but what about multiple images?
The reason I have multiple images is that I have sliced them up. On my other website I have a 1-piece background, but it takes aaaages to load. With multiple smaller images it loads way faster.

Right, but it’s not going to work with tables like that.

I think you’re just going to have to go one-piece. With people’s internet connection getting better and better, if you can keep the image under 200KB you might be ok.

1) I know most of the people this website is aiming for do NOT have a strong computer. For them even the simplest websites load slow.
2) I don’t think I can get the image under 200kb and still have a decent look.

There’s got to be another way, right? I’ve seen other websites with multiple-piece backgrounds before, so it can’t be impossible.
